ERROR HANDLING PATTERNS

By Language

# Python
try:
    result = risky_operation()
except SpecificError as e:
    logger.error(f"Operation failed: {e}")
    return fallback_value
finally:
    cleanup()

// Go
result, err := riskyOperation()
if err != nil {
    if errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) {
        return nil, ErrNotFound
    }
    return nil, fmt.Errorf("operation failed: %w", err)
}

// Rust
let result = risky_operation()
    .map_err(|e| AppError::OperationFailed(e))?;

Retry Pattern (Universal)

retry_config:
  max_attempts: 3
  initial_delay_ms: 100
  max_delay_ms: 10000
  backoff: exponential
  retryable_errors:
    - connection_timeout
    - service_unavailable

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Common Issues by Language

Language	Issue	Solution
JavaScript	Callback hell	Use async/await
Python	GIL bottleneck	Use multiprocessing
Java	Memory leak	Profile with JVisualVM
Go	Goroutine leak	Use context cancellation
Rust	Borrow checker	Understand ownership model

Debug Checklist

[ ] 1. Check error messages carefully
[ ] 2. Verify dependency versions
[ ] 3. Check environment variables
[ ] 4. Test in isolation
[ ] 5. Add logging/print statements
[ ] 6. Use debugger breakpoints
[ ] 7. Check official documentation
[ ] 8. Search for similar issues
